Awake Goy Ferdinand Keller (1854 – 1922) was a German history, genre, and portrait painter. He was also commissioned to do some very large-scale projects. He started painting while his father was working on a 4 year contract in Brazil and then decided to study painting when he got back to Germany. He traveled Europe, continuing to study and work on his craft. He eventually became a professor and then director at Karlsruhe Academy
From Dark Art and Craft:
Ferdinand Keller was a German history painter concerned with genre and symbolism. His work is richly textured, atmospheric and at times masterfully dark. His ode to Swiss symbolist Böcklin “Le Tombeau de Bocklin” (shown below) is subtle yet haunting.
